Olivia Newton-John : Physical

Once in a while there comes a song which works on all fronts. And with Physical everything seems to fall into place. From the music to the slightly raunchy lyrics juxtaposed with Livvy's sweet and innocent vocals everything is just right.

 Up till then, Olivia Newton-John had been known as the sweet girl-next-door.

The image had been further cemented by her role in Grease. However, much like her Grease alter- ego, she was about to undergo a metamorphosis, courtesy of Physical.

It was inevitable that Physical would shoot to the top of the charts and Livvy was even nicknamed Olivia Neutron-Bomb for her new raunchy image.

The video was fun and funny and pokes fun at the (then) emerging gym culture and even implies that the fit hot men who frequent the gyms are of the persuasion of the love that dare not speaketh its name. In fact, the only straight guy left at the end of the video is the fat guy whom Livvy quickly bags before he gets away.

The very sexy Kylie Minogue did a cover of the song but much as we love the divine Ms. M the original still rawwks it for me. Now, where did I put my leg-warmers?

Dannii Minogue V Dead or Alive : Begin To Spin Me Around

In 2003, Dannii Minogue (sister of Kylie) released the song I Begin To Wonder. The song reached number 2 in the charts and the catchy tune is a fan favourite with Dannii even considering the track to be her signature tune.

 The song was given a new lease of life with this mash-up with Dead Or Alive's 80s hit You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) and the result is pure club heaven ...

Of course, Dannii then went on to find fame on The X-Factor and Australia's Got Talent and the rest, as they say, is history.
